Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

For more links etc see message 2

If any link doesn’t work or you want to add something please let me know by @ing me

Thanks @Trumpton I will have a look next time I’m in.

@UselessInDisguise I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Etsy sale but if you go through Quidco you can get 4% cashback

Those are very good prices on dock & bay towels, we have them and they are fantastic

I turned off brand alley as could not stand the bombardment of emails, I might need to go back on for a while. Some good discounts on Neom stuff, just sent DH a nudge for the body oil for me for Christmas, same one he got me last year that DD used in one go in one of her potions...

Has anyone seen any deals on hatchimals play sets? I’m thinking of getting one for my niece

@Lockdownhairdontcare Home Bargains!

Thank to the poster for the Emerald Hill game. £1.50. Bargain

@Mindblank not a Playset but Smyths have the huge Hatchiwow llama thingy at £24.99 down from £50! A decent size so would look impressive?

Hatchiwow

@Mindblank The Entertainer also have lots of discounts on various Hatchimals stuff might be worth a look.

[quote Duckyneedsaclean]@Ewock have you got a link as they're showing at £22 for me still. I've finally thought of who I could give them to![/quote]
Sorry I have only just looked back on here. Just checked the pet ones are unavailable again. I used the link above which took me to the Barn Yard set then under the price you can choose selection and it has the pet set. They seem to be coming in and out of availability all the time.

I'm sure somebody was looking for the Barbie Dream Plane? It's currently £20 off at The Entertainer

Hi guys, can anyone recommend a decent jigsaw make? Looking to send my grandma a couple as she's still in lockdown and feeling the effects now :(

*smilesatthesmallthings have a look in The Works they had a great selection there today.

Can anyone recommend a bargainous wildlife camera and if ugg slippers please for the in laws would be great if I could get them off the to do list?

Has anyone seen dinosaur fingerlings reduced at all? It’s more a novelty present so looking for a bargain!

They were £5 in the entertainer when I went in yesterday

@Smileatthesmallthings we bought my Nan one of these during lockdown. She loved and quality was good! www.photobox.co.uk/shop/photo-gifts/photo-jigsaw?esl-k=sem-google%7Cng%7Cc462512570119%7Cme%7Ckphoto%20jigsaw%7Cp%7Ct%7Cdm%7Ca105082495110%7Cg9929927651&_c1v=paid&_c2v=search&_c3v=google&_c4id=9929927651&_c5id=105082495110&_c6id=kwd-127765535&_c7id=462512570119&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqJKIhdbm6wIVia3tCh3E5gFIEAAYASAAEgL5ffD_BwE

Any ideas for a funky pc mouse for a teen?
Bargainous obv :)

@yoikes We got this one for DS1 last year, it's still looking good and working well.

Wireless Mouse, Jelly Comb MS001 2.4G Computer Mice with Nano Receiver for PC/Desktop/Laptop (with USB ports) and Windows/Mac/Linux, Silent & Smooth, Basic Design (Black and Gold) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075QDWD8X/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_x1MxFb3F6BW87

Meant to say they have lots of different designs and colours to choose from!

@LyraSilvertongueBelacqua, hang on I'll pop into my email and find the link.

Don't know if this will work on QVC UK but I signed up to QVC Italy a few days ago and today got a £10 off anything over the price of £10 with no code, the important thing was it was your first purchase. Tbh, QVC Italy is shite but I got a couple of candles for £20 so they were half price with the offer.

Asda had a lovely looking castle in store today for just £15, I think it was aimed for girls

I can confirm Photobox jigsaw is great. I had one done for DD with one of her own photos of London and it looks like a professional photo.

Just been reading reviews on trust pilot regarding Brand Alley. Please be careful, so many awful reviews, it’s put me off purchasing from them which is a shame as I had some of the dock and bay towels in my basket!

m.clinique.co.uk/product/17517/50933/best-sellers/moisture-surgetm-72-hour-auto-replenishing-hydrator

@LyraSilvertongueBelacqua, that's the link from my email but clicking through it looks like they've sold out- my email did say there were limited numbers and the promo was just a flash one for today.

There are always offers on though, plus 15% off for first orders etc so if you use Clinique (or Estée Lauder) it's worth signing up. Some perfume gift sets I saw are half price in the sale too.

@Amazonmulu thank you, I’ll check them out

@22Giraffes

I'm sure somebody was looking for the Barbie Dream Plane? It's currently £20 off at The Entertainer

Think it was GirlWithTheYellowHat maybe?

puppet theatre £20 off in the sale here, though not massively bargainous at £40, someone posted a link to the site way back but I'm not sure if it was because they had loads of puppets in their sale (only a few left now)
